ZZ Ward Announces 'Last Love' Tour

Following a year of sold out dates, festival performances and TV appearances, ZZ Ward is kicking off 2014 with a bang, announcing her ‘Last Love’ headline tour set to kick off February 28th with a hometown show in Philadelphia PA (Ward was born in Abington PA) and culminate with two performances at this year’s Coachella Music Festival April 11 & 18 alongside Outkast, The Replacements and Broken Bells. Direct support on the Last Love Tour will be indie-popsters Grizfolk with a third opener to be announced shortly. An engaging and mesmerizing performer, ZZ’s live performances have been called out by everyone from the Boston Herald who described Ward as having, “the confidence and swagger of a hip-hop MC” to the Chicago Tribune who declared, “So what are you waiting for? Go hear her.”

Touring in support of her debut album Til The Casket Drops, ZZ Ward is readying her third single “Last Love Song,” following the rousing first single “Put The Gun Down” and fan favorite “365 Days.” Penned by Ward, and produced by OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder & Brent Kutzle, “Last Love Song” pulls the emotional strings in this stirring and chill-inducing song in which she softly but decidedly walks away from a downward spiraling relationship. Of the song, Ward had to say, "I had written so many songs about this one guy, almost an entire album, so I vowed that this would be the last song I would ever write about him." “Last Love Song” is now available on iTunes and can be heard here.

In addition to the non-stop touring, Ward has performed live on The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Last Call with Carson Daly, Good Morning America, Queen Latifah and is set to perform on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on January 30th. Her music has also been featured in numerous hit TV shows including Nashville, Pretty Little Liars, The Voice, The View, The Client List and the feature film “We’re The Millers.”

Commanding the stage, whether in front of a festival crowd or in a more intimate club setting, Ward infuses the soulfulness of the blues, the sexiness of a chanteuse, and the passion of the hip-hop artists that inspire her. Said the New York Times recently, "[ZZ Ward's] energy evokes Tina Turner's, her chops Aretha Franklin's, and her soul Etta James's," while the Village Voice notes, “Ward’s voice…stands alone like a force of nature.”
